Petitions of Nomination for Office

Memo

To:

 All Candidates

From:

 Flo-Ann Dango, Town Clerk

Subject:

 Petitions of nomination for office

Date:

 December 4, 2023

The filing deadline for petitions of nomination for Annual Town Meeting and Annual School District Meeting is Monday, January 29, 2024.  Each candidate for office must file a written consent to the printing of the candidate=s name on the ballot. This consent form appears on the back of your petition and must be filled out before your petition is returned to the Town Clerk.  This form is the principal mechanism that election officials use to determine the form of a candidate=s name, its spelling, use of initials, and the like.  For that reason, please complete this form carefully, using the form of your name which you want to appear on the ballot.

You must obtain no less than 28 valid signatures (VOTERS WHOSE NAME APPEARS ON THE VOTER CHECKLIST FOR WEATHERSFIELD).  A few extra names would ensure a valid petition. All signatures must be legible. If I cannot read the name I will not accept the signature.

PETITIONS for MARCH 5, 2024, Election are due by 5:00 p.m. on Monday, January 29, 2024.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call my office, 802-674-9500. THANK YOU.
